Well................the Jawa vehicle is in 1/96 scale...............maybe the builder is busy on a 1/96 scale Revell USS Constitution.
Olivia, unfortunately, Kevin has not posted on the forum for over a year, so you might struggle to get an answer. Its a shame as this is a great model and would love to see more like this.

Kevin,
This model is amazing! I am starting to work on my own model and I was looking into trying to use pre-fabricated treads. Did you make yours from scratch or steal them from a tank or something? So cool! This is the best model of the sandcrawler that I've seen so far!

WOW, that's an awesome looking build... I love all the little details and weathering you've done.

ooteenee! mapit! mapit!
What a great build...even my 12 year old a avid Star Wars fan said he could just imagine the time and detail that went into it and how BIG it must be :).
Oh...my...word
WOW my hats off to you for a fantastic build. I can almost hear the evaporator farm running from hear.

That's why I couldn't just let it sit in the closet... or any longer in base-coat... And to think the real SS one is more than twice as big! I've seen people try to do starter kits for this and it got crazy on the price just for that... At least I got mine for less than $465 way back when...

Thanks everyone! Spent more than a bit of time on the rusty parts. It is the Randy Cooper resin kit that came out a while back... randycoopermodels. Lit with VoodoFx module made specific for this kit. Other than that, made a couple of "special modifications" myself...
One minor addition... darkened up the jawas and added more flat. Think I grabbed a jar of flat earth wash originally... they were still a bit light and shiny. Fixed.
Wow, that's an awesome build!
Who's kit is this? You mentioned Cooper above?
That looks amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Wow.....absolutely awesome!
Freakin' sweet!
I love the look of the 'rusty' plates.
The hardest part of flying isn't flying...it's landing.
Thanks all.
Voodo Fx has a lighting kit specifically for this crawler. I cut out a hatch in the top where I can get at it all later.
Used almost all Tamiya acrylics (Nato Brown for the base-coat over flat black primer). The rest were mixes and layered washes of Tamiya weathering power sets and acrylic paints.
The orange/yellow rusting along the top was a mix of craft-store acrylics, since I kept mixing it too yellow, then too orange, back and forth. Found a couple that were close to some different references (it shows up differently in various references) and did mixes of just those and finally got what I liked. Those were also thicker out of the little squeeze bottles, so it went on thick and then random-spot sanded down well to create the heavier rust look, since it pulled some of the undercoat through it...
That is an amazing model !
Did you use LEDs for the interior lighting?
What paint brands do you use?
Wow, that's fantastic! Bet she's got more detail than the old studio model.

Magnific work OTnROTSfan out of all the weathering is outstanding
rtoo speed makes ugly results, too relax don't make results
Yer builds are awesome.
I remember that "other big project!"
Thanks all. This was a FUN weathering project.... really got into it once I got going. Hopefully will build the Studio-Scale crawler one day, which is big enough to sit on.
The Jawas are just MicroMachines ones (around 1/72) which I shaved down a bit and repainted to try to get somewhat in scale... same with the R2. The full build-up gallery is here:

That "other big project" has been sitting idle all summer, but it is here:
/forums/t/126177.aspx
Needed the bench room to start building out the rest of the structure pieces and the fighters... mostly wanted to finish this one. It looked like a big candy bar when it was just sitting in base-coat for so long...
That's one of the coolest things I've seen here in a long time. Nice work.
That's a great crawler. I love the Jawas!
OTnROTSfan Over two feet long... over a foot high... some day want to do the full size one that you can sit on...

Wow that is really big, where did you get the Jawa's?
Kevin, that has to rank as one of the coolest things I have ever seen!!! The amount of detail in this thing is incredible. I would love to see this one up close.
